The Rangers Bunglow
#WritcoStoryPrompt11
The village well as eerie even by the day. Stories of horror revolved around it. But nothing deterred me and my friends to explore it on that moonless, winter night…

I planned to visit the rangers bungalow with my cousin James..we have heard haunted stories about the bungalow related to the ranger and his only daughter .

it's a huge bungalow with curated deer,bison and tiger heads .As we entered thorough a broken window and stepped in ..walked through the stairs reaching the first floor where all huge rooms with broken furniture looked like bedrooms.

we entered a huge dining hall with a huge table which could accommodate fifty guests at a time, then we moved towards the adjacent room where we found old trunks curious enough,we thought we found something precious.

we broke open a trunk and to our astonishment found smaller golden coated cases..suddenly there was a sound like a screeching door.

we hushed and we're silent for a while..and then foot steps ..coming towards the room were heard ...we hid ourselves behind the huge doors of the room.

a shadow of a human with a stick could be seen walking in..slowly.we were very scared and stood still .the shadow walked in and it was an old man , we still watched him..and we could hear ours hearts throbbing..

the old man Walked towards the open trunk and looked around...in suspicion and walked slowly towards the open door where we were hiding...my adrenaline was gushing and I was very scared...took my torch in hand and as the man neared me I jumped up at Jim and hit him on the head

he fell down and became unconscious..soon my James and I tied him up to a pillar on the ground he was actually a human and not a ghost
we sighed with great relief and sat down .thinking what was this man doing here in the bungalow all alone.
as we looked closer we found him in kaki coloured shirt like the forest police would wear.
